Making the Case for Thermal Biomass

T

he national news about fuel prices and their impact on the economy presents challenges for the region.

With the Northeast heavily dependent on heating oil (see chart), this instability in energy costs will be felt around the region, especially in rural areas where heating oil is the primary source for heat.

The rise in prices will not impact all people equally.

It is likely to hit harder for people with limited income, and where the housing stock is older and less energy efficient. When prices go up, households have to figure out what to cut back on to make up the difference.

Take for example, Franklin County, where in 2000, 71 percent of housing units use heating oil or kerosene (Source: New York State energy profiles, NYSERDA) New York residents saw an increase of 69 percent in the cost of #2 heating oil from April 2009 to today’s prices.

A household using 1,000 gallons of fuel a year would

have to find an additional $1,610 just to stay even, a sizable amount when average annual household income in Franklin County is $44,374.

For that same household, converting to a wood-based system could bring significant savings (see box at right).

The opportunity from pellet furnaces is a way to start reducing our oil dependence.

Comparing costs To compare costs, it’s helpful to convert each fuel’s unit of measurement into the dollar amount per million British Thermal Units($/MMBtu), to show the true cost of the heat output. For example, as of Jan 24, 2011, State average prices for residential fuel were (starting with most expensive): Electricity @$0.20/kWh = $58.60/MMBtu Propane @$3.09/gal = $38.60/MMBtu Heating Oil @$3.54/gal = $25.62/MMBtu Natural Gas @$16.80/ MCF = $16.80/MMBtu Bagged Wood Pellet @$240/ton = $15.38/ MMBtu Bulk Wood Pellets @$200/ton = $12.82/ MMBtu Wood Chips @50/ton = $4.72/MMBtu The average New York State home uses 50 Million Btu’s a heating season. At these rates, that would cost $1,281 a season for oil versus $769 for wood pellets.

ANCA Energy Tips

New incentives program makes going solar easier NYSERDA Launches State’s First Solar Thermal Incentive Program to Spur Replacement of Electric Hot Water Systems with Solar Hot Water Systems New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) has launched the state’s first incentive program for solar thermal systems, which produce hot water from solar power.

As part of New York’s renewable energy goals, the state’s solar thermal target is to displace the equivalent of 45.54 megawatts of electrical use by the end of 2015.

The 5-year, $25 million program provides incentives of up to $4,000 per site for eligible single- and multi-family residences and up to $25,000 per site for eligible commercial and nonprofit customers who currently use electricity to produce hot water.

In addition to the NYSERDA incentives, homeowners, commercial entities and nonprofit organizations can apply for federal tax incentives, which cover 30 percent of the cost of an installed solar thermal system, and New York State tax incentives, which cover 25 percent of the installed system up to $5,000.

Electric hot water generally makes up 17 to 20 percent of a homeowner’s monthly electric bill and less than 10 percent of the monthly bill for the average commercial building. Solar thermal systems can provide approximately 50 to 80 percent of a homeowner’s hot

water needs and generally have a very attractive payback period.

PROGRAM SPECIFICS INCLUDE: • Incentives are calculated based on the estimated amount of electricity saved by installing solar thermal equipment.

• On average, incentives for a typical residential or commercial system are expected to cover approximately 15 to 20 percent of the installed cost of a solar thermal system. The incentives are paid directly to the eligible installer and must be passed on, in full, to customers.

• To qualify for incentives, equipment and systems must be certified by the Solar Rating and Certification Corporation. Incentives will be available only on approved solar thermal systems installed by NYSERDA-approved solar thermal installers. Solar thermal installer applications will be accepted through Dec. 31, 2015.

• Incentives will be granted first-come, first served, and applications will be accepted through December 31, 2015 or until the funds are fully committed, whichever comes first.

Energy News: State hits record for home retrofits

The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) has announced that the numbers of New York State homeowners who completed energy efficiency retrofits reached all-time monthly records in both January and February 2011, through Green Jobs/Green NY. Created by the New York State Legislature and launched Nov. 15, 2010, Green Jobs/Green NY is expected to generate jobs in the state by stimulating investment in energy efficiency improvements for residential homes and businesses. It provides homeowners with free or reduced-cost comprehensive home assessments, also referred to as energy audits, and low-interest loans to finance these improvements.

The program will be available to small commercial, not-forprofit and multifamily buildings in the coming months.

Businesses using NYSERDA Incentives

The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) announced that 169 Central New York businesses are reducing energy costs by nearly $4 million annually as a result of the energy efficiency upgrades and sustainable building projects supported

by NYSERDA during 2010.

The energy savings — more than 25 million kilowatt hours — is equivalent to the amount of electricity consumed by more than 3,600 single-family homes annually and will be realized by these companies every year for years to come.

Statewide, NYSERDA commercial and industrial incentives supported more than 2,800 projects during 2010, helping companies reduce operating costs by $40 million.

ANCA updates

Say hello to ANCA’s newest Board Member Mike Farmer was named to the ANCA board on March 24.

Farmer is a fourth generation Adirondack native from Old Forge, in Northern Herkimer County.

In April 2010, he became Tourism/Publicity Director for the Town of Webb, a move which brought him back home after living and working in Aspen, Colo., for the past two decades.

“Mike will be a great asset to the ANCA board in helping to increase the economic climate in the ANCA Region. He has done a great job of promoting tourism, as director of the Central Adirondack Association, during the past year. I look forward to working with him,” said Richard Bird, Vice President of ANCA’s Central Region.

Growing our own Way ANCA participated in the 9th annual North Country Symposium, April 4-5, at St. Lawrence University. The theme was “Growing Our Own Way: Strengthening Our Identity for the North Country’s Future.”

Ben Hewitt, farmer and author of “The Town That Food Saved: How One Community Found Vitality in Local Food,” gave the keynote address. The story about Hardwick, Vt., provided great inspiration to the North Country audience.

Kate Fish made a presentation on ANCA during the Food and Agriculture session, which was followed by an energized conversation about what food system components are most needed to promote local food.

Hardwick was featured in this New York Times story.

Hudson Valley Community College’s TEC Smart Center (photo provided)

ANCA Board Meets with Economic Developers in Malta, Saratoga County The ANCA board held its quarterly meeting on March 24 at the Tec-Smart Center in the Town of Malta.

The Center is an innovative new educational facility operated by Hudson Valley Community College in support of the adjoining GLOBALFOUNDRIES chip plant (being constructed) and other emerging “Clean Tech” businesses.

Following the business portion of ANCA’s quarterly meeting, board members had a two hour discussion with representatives of Empire State Development and economic developers from Warren, Washington and Saratoga Counties, ANCA’s Southeast Region.

Joining in the discussion with the board were: Peter Wohl, ESD’s Capital Region Director; Dennis Brobston, President, Saratoga Economic Development Corp.; Todd Shimkus, President, Saratoga County Chamber of Commerce; John Wheatley, Vice-President, Warren County Economic Development Corporation; and, Tori J. E. Riley, President, Washington County Local Development Corporation.

The ANCA Board learned more about the GLOBALFOUNDRIES project and other economic development initiatives, opportunities and issues in ANCA’s Southeast Region.

The region’s economic developers gained a better understanding of ANCA’s programs and partnership opportunities.

About the TEC Smart Center Part of Hudson Valley Community College, the Training and Education Center for Semiconductor Manufacturing and Alternative and Renewable Technologies is an example of how a building can act as a tool for teaching.

• The 43,338 square foot building is Gold certified by LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) and features five technology laboratories in photovoltaic, geothermal, wind, alternative fuels and semiconductors.

5 What they’re

A Game-changer for the region

saying

Saratoga County welcomes world’s most advanced semiconductor manufacturing facility In 2008, GlobalFoundries US, Inc., committed to building a semiconductor wafer manufacturing facility on 222 acres of land located at the Luther Forest Technology Campus in Malta, in Saratoga County.

The project involves constructing and equipping a state-of-the art facility that will be the most technologically advanced in the world. The current project includes four major building elements: •

and could eventually become part of a second fab. When completed in 2014, the fab will run on $5.5 billion dollars’ worthy of manufacturing tools and specialized equipment.

Impacts on the region

A 300,000 square-foot wafer fabrication clean room • Support buildings, including a “spine” and Bump-Test Facility • Administrative office building • Central utility building along with service yards and small support buildings In addition, last month the Malta Planning Board approved a new 221,000-square-foot administrative building, known as Admin 2, which will have room for 1,500 employees

Agricultural innovations ATTENTION MAPLE PRODUCERS: If you are one of the many maple producers that use buckets, you may want to consider a new spout for next season.

What’s exciting about this new 5/16” stainless steel spout? First of all the diameter, it is smaller than many of the older tradition spouts.

So what does that mean to you?

Studies show that by using a smaller diameter tap your sap yields will have little to no significant change. What’s important after the tap is removed is the impact on your trees. By using

Once up and running, the planned 1.5 million square foot facility is expected to: • Create 1,655 new direct semiconductor manufacturing jobs with an average salary of $60,000 and estimated payroll of more than $88 million, • Add 5,000 indirect jobs in the region.

• Expected total project investment is $6.6 billion.

• An immediate stimulus to the regional economy through local expenditures of as much as $1.14 billion in the construction of the new facility, which is estimated at supporting 1,600 jobs with the potential for an addition 2,700 jobs added through economic multipliers.

a smaller diameter spout it allows your maple trees to heal faster as well as providing a smaller amount of stained area around the old tap hole.

So, if your sap production remains the same and your trees can benefit switch to the small diameter spout.

Why stainless steel? If you look at the spouts in the picture you will see after a few short years your spouts tend to rust and corrode. When this happens, you tend to lose sap production and there’s a chance you could introduce bacteria into that newly tapped tree. The stainless steel tap when cleaned each year will eliminate those problems.

Think of it this way: when you are stuck with a needle in the doctor’s office do you want the doctor to use a small needle or a larger one and do you want him or her to use a dirty old needle or a nice new clean one? So why not treat your maple trees the same way you want your doctor to treat you?

“The GlobalFoundries project will not only create 1400 plus jobs for our region but places us in the global marketplace as a real competitor.

We are able to attract hi-tech businesses that will allow our residents to have a long term future in the fastest growing and innovative industries available. Our existing businesses will flourish as they support these new companies.”

— Dennis A. Brobston President Saratoga Economic Development Corp.

6 ANCA applauds The Town of Schroon has done a staggering amount of work to upgrade infrastructure and improve the overall quality of life for both year-round and seasonal residents.

Much of the impressive effort can be attributed to the vision of Supervisor Cathy Moses, who jumped into the role 12 years ago.

She knew right away the scope of the work that needed to be done.

On one of her first days on the job, the back door broke when she walked in the door.

Upon looking outside she saw the fence was broken, and a fuel tank under the town building was leaking.

Since then, the town of 1,759 year-round and 3,000 seasonal residents, has seen a transformation. A brief look at work done so far: A new wastewater treatment plant and municipal water system, airport upgrades, a new highway garage and purchase of the old firehouse,

Schroon Lake bandstand (Photo courtesy of Richard Schoenstadt) which will soon be home to the Town Library.

And that’s just a start.

There have been numerous upgrades on the town park, such as an updated Bandstand, a Veterans’ War Memorial, improvements to the waterfront Boathouse Theatre, a new boat launch and parking area and bath house renovations.

In addition, Moses created a beautification committee

to focus on aesthetic details.

Through their efforts, residents and visitors can now walk along a lovely lakeside esplanade and enjoy new stonework on the shorefront.

For this work, Moses applied for and the Town was granted the 2006 Governor’s Quality Communities Award for Excellence for accomplishments at the town park, boat launch, Boat House Theater and waterfront walkway.

“The event is a perfect fit for the destination, as it supports the Whiteface Region‘s brand as a biking destination, and will increase visitor activity during the typically slower shoulder season,” said James McKenna, President of the Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism/Lake Placid CVB. “This is another event that resulted from the cooperative partnerships that were cemented in order to successfully host the Empire State Winter Games. Kudos to the staff at the Olympic Regional Development Authority (ORDA) who facilitated the connection with the event organizers that ultimately brought this event to Wilmington.”

Wilmington will serve as the first of three qualifier series race host venues for the Leadville Trail 100 Mountain Bike Race, the best known mountain bike race in North America.

The Wilmington/Whiteface 100k will be held in Wilmington on June 19 as part of the Leadville Qualifying Series, races designed to provide an excellent opportunity to race and ride in some of the most beautiful and challenging terrain in the country.

The event’s schedule coincides with the annual Wilmington Bike Fest, including the Whiteface Uphill Bike Race, on June 18.

“It was considered an example of how cooperation between local government and state agencies can contribute to the economic grown of local communities,” she said.

All of the efforts were accomplished through the work of those who sought the funding for the various projects.

“Credit also must go to those creative grant writers ­— Essex County Planning Department, our Councilman Roger Friedman, Howard Warren, and many others who were instrumental in acquiring funding for these important projects. The Supervisor, along with an excellent bookkeeper, Chris Stone, who coordinates all of the paperwork associated with the funding, simply administers the projects,” Moses said.

A Tourism Destination Blueprint and Schroon Watershed Master Plan will help guide future development, and plans are in the works to add a hotel and affordable housing to the hamlet, using Smart Growth principles.

“We’ve redone the infrastructure, now we need to sell everything we accomplished,” she said.

‘Harry Potter’ hooked on maple Daniel Radcliffe, best known for playing the title role in the “Harry Potter” film series, has unwittingly become a spokesman for NY maple syrup.

While in New York for his work in “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying,” Radcliffe was quoted in The New York Times as being a fan of one of Northern New York’s biggest food products.

“You will see me probably drink an obscene amount of maple syrup” he said, adding he’d never had it until three weeks previously, and now could consume “pints of it.”

‘Why I LOVE it here’ 15 years ago, he saw it as the perfect opportunity to return to the region.

“I wanted to do more with my everyday life that contributed to the community,” he said.

Note: This feature spotlights people around the region who moved here, stayed and now call it home.

Name: Stephen Svoboda Age: 34 Residence: Tupper Lake Hometown: From Westchester County; grew up coming to Tupper Lake on family vacations.

Job title: Executive Director, Adirondack Lakes Center for the Arts What brought him back to the region: After eight years of teaching and running the playwriting and directing program at University of Miami, Svoboda was ready for a change. When he heard through his network about the opening at the arts center, where he had interned

Career Accomplishments: Svoboda became a professor at 23 year, fresh out of grad school and a stint working on soap opera “Guiding Light.” An active playwright, Svoboda has seen a few of his plays premier in New York City.

Now in his third year as Arts Center director, Svoboda is proud to report that through his efforts, the budget doubled, programming has tripled and there has been a 600 percent increase of participation.

“We’ve taken the arts center which is a great resource, and watched that combination of art and hard work pay off in the community.”

What do you love about living in the Adirondack region?

“I often compare it to a community in Tanzania that I do volunteer work in … the people are incredibly connected to each other. I find that to be the most rewarding aspect of what I do.”

The We Live NY Summit brought 550 young professionals to Ithaca last month. Melissa Hart/ANCA photo

Described as a “10 year labor of love,” Svoboda first began work on “Odysseus DOA” while a graduate student. The play had a run at the Red House Arts Center in Syracuse, and went on to a production in New York City at the Lion Theatre at Theatre Row in March. (shown here, courtesy of Stephen Svoboda).

He cited the big impact performances have in smaller communities. For example, 500 people attended a recent show of “Rockin to Oz,” a rock-n-roll Wizard of Oz that featured 15 adults with disabilities from Sunmount in Tupper Lake and Long Lake School children. That’s a big showing, considering Long Lake only has 364 residents.

The Sunmount actors are part of the Living Able Series that the Arts Center created.

What are some of the challenges here for recruiting young professionals?

“We face an even bigger hurdle, in that it’s hard to attract people to live here and accept lower-paying jobs,” he

WE LIVE NY: March 24-26, young leaders and professionals around the state convened at Cornell University for the We Live NY Summit, which looks for ways to attract and retain young talent to the Upstate region.

The Summit was hosted by We Live NY in partnership with 40 Below and Pipeline 4 Progress, which are young professional organizations based in Central N.Y. The main program of the summit occurred on March 25, with workshops and seminars offered in five programming tracks: Business & Entrepreneurship, Political & Civic Engagement, Cuisine & Culture, Health & Wellness, and Community

said. Since coming on board, Svoboda has raised salaries and added 3 positions.

The center still runs its summer intern program, this year will house 12 20-30 year olds in Long Lake.

“It’s a great merging of styles and getting more people to be invested in the Adirondacks.

After they are done, they are more invested in wanting to keep this community going.”

If you could change anything about living here, what would it be?

“It’s imperative that we think of the entire Adirondack (region) as one community. We are working to get people out of the silo mentality.”

& Regional Revitalization.

SUNY Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher gave a keynote address to the 550 Summit attendees. The winner of a summit pitch competition was determined through votes placed online and other interactive methods were used to draw audiences over Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

And being in Ithaca, there were opportunities to take advantage of the local cuisine and culture, including a wine, cheese and chocolate tasting that was part of the Summit.

This event was a great way to get young people to connect with peers around the state. Let’s aim for a future Summit to meet in the North Country!
